I like to bring these rich goodies to parties or my husband's workplace, says Julie Tambrini of Lansing, Illinois. The combination of gooey chocolate caramel and a crumbly topping makes them irresistible. Ingredients:
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup cold butter |
16 caramels |
1 tablespoon 2% milk |
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1/2 cup for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 10-14 minutes or until set.
2. In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt caramels with the milk. Stir in the remaining flour until smooth. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture and chocolate chips. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6 bars.
